After waiting till all her elder sisters' weddings were done and dusted in true ultra-orthodox Jewish style, it's now 19-year-old Chani's turn. She's only met Baruch, her fiancé, four times and he hasn't even seen her elbows but the match is made and the day eventually arrives. Baruch secretly studies forbidden gentile literature and Chani has an inquisitive streak often perceived as rebellious so God knows what the future holds. Perhaps they should take the Rabbi's marriage as an example? Or perhaps not…

If you enjoyed this and would like to read more fiction that brings alive the conflict between the world and identity, we heartily recommend the World War II drama [[Noah's Child by Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt]]. If you'd like to read more Man Booker 2013 nominations, as you may have sussed, we just as heartily recommend [[Unexploded by Alison MacLeod|Unexploded]].
